HOUSTON, TX — The 44th annual Festival Chicano has announced the lineup for this year’s event scheduled for the first weekend in October at the Miller Outdoor Theatre in Houston, Texas. This festival is one of the oldest and longest-running free events of its kind in the world, and it showcases the diversity and richness of Chicano music genres.

The festival runs from Oct. 5 to Oct. 7, and each night features different artists and bands.

On Oct. 6, you can groove to Los Palominos and La 45, two award-winning bands, one that blends conjunto, norteño, and country influences, with the other known as “Next Generation Chicanos”. And on Oct. 7, you can witness Little Joe Y La Familia and Jaime DeAnda, two icons of Tejano music who have influenced generations of musicians.
All performances are free and start at 7 p.m. You can get your tickets for covered seating and more information online at milleroutdoortheatre.com or at the box office on the day of the show. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
